Shameful but not surprising that #Norfolk has elected the first #Reform Police and Crime Commissioner.
Turnout was just 17%. I did vote despite being run off my feet yesterday with work, end of term assemblies and kid’s parties to arrange and attend.
But I suspect for a lot of people they had no idea there was an election happening.
Reform however clearly have galvanised their voters. We cannot be complacent about any election.
